before them, even though it might conflict
with the views of the Treasury Depart
nlent That he understood to be the pur-
pose OF the meeting. Taking into CON
sideratiou every interest, he believed the
post office should be near the bust
ness centre of the city. That centre,
he added, has changed very little in
the past 100 years. 1t is substantially
the same now that il was half, or three
quarters of a century ago. The business in
terests of the city are more deeply inter
ested than any one else in the location of the
post office.
BUSINESS INTERESTS AFFECTED.
Ii is the business men who use the post
office most. OF the mechanics and the labor
ing people, Mr.. Adams said that he did not
believe one in 1000 cared where the post
office is, for they depend altogether upon the
carriers delivery The merchants, the bust
ness men. are the ones VINO are most deeply
interested, and it is their interests which
will be affected 1t would have
been eminently proper, he added, if
Mr.. Norwood had consulted the interests Of
the people before making his recommen-
dation to the government A vote was
then taken Oh Capt. Purses motion TO ad-
journ and it was lost The substitute reSo-
luton was also defeated, and the original
resolutions offered by Capt. Flannery were
carried by very nearly unanimous vote
after which the meeting adjourned.
The substance of the resolutions, in the
form of protest, with the request that a
special agent be designated TO confer with
the trade organizations and city authorities,

The steamship Johns Hopkins arrived

An Embryotic Pinkerton Obtains a

At very early hour yesterday morning
two well-kuown mixologists and dispensers

with the proprietor, when in rushed we'll
known knight of the club with a pair of
trowSers in his hand. He requested the pro
prietor to take charge of them until he
should call for them, stating at the same
time that a robbery must have been COM
mitted either in the Screven House
or the house on the opposite
side Of the lane, as he had
picked up this necessary article
of wearing apparel in Congress street lane
He wanted to leave the pants there while he
investigated the robbery and caught up
with the thief. just at this time one of the
parties in the restaurant, a bartender in a
well-known saloon, recognized the pants,
pointing out well-BnoWn ear marks peculiar
to the trade on them, and stating that he
had given them TO the porter to throw away,
little thinking of the amount of concern and
trouble they would occasion. The genial
cop retired amid the roars Of the trio. rath-

and at the amount OF trouble which an in
nocent pair of pants had given him.

Tiney Thompson's Furniture Sold.

The household goods of Tiney b. Thomp-
son were sold at his late residence, corner of
Charlton and Price streets, yesterday, by j.
Mclaughlin & Son, auctioneers. The fur
niture consisted of everything that could
make house comfortable and handsome,
and was in fine condition and almost new.
The house was crowded to OVERLOOKING with
people, nearly all of whom were ladies.
When the sale began there was perfect
jam around the auctioneer, many
of the bidders only being able
TO get the front of their bonnets in the door
ways. They had evidently come to buy, as
there were no hesitating bids, and many
were so anxious to get particular articles
that they bid against themselves. The
prices brought We're well up TO the worth OF
the articles, and the auction must have re-
allied very handsome sum. 1t was sale
without reserve, which is probably the best
evidence that Mr.. Thompson's future home
will be in some far distant land.

YESTERDAYS TWO FIRES.
Fox's Furniture Establishment Dam

aGed-Bleze in a Band Room.
A fire broke out in the furniture store of
Peter Fox, under Metropolitan Hall, about
5:45 O'Clock yesterday afternoon. but there
was no very heavy loss.
A little negro boy named Ally Brown
worked in the store, and he went up into
the second story TO light the gas and sweep
out before going home. He dropped a
burning match, which fell into bale of
excelsior" and set fire TO it. The
lad became frightened and ran down
stair and into Myers cigar store and asked
Mr.. Myers to come with him; that the store
was on fire. Mr. Myers ran upstairs, but
by the time he reached the blaze the whole
bale of excelsior" was burning. He saw at
once that nothing could be done without the
aid of the fire department. He sent a mes
senger, who turned in the alarm. The de
partment responded promptly and soon had
stream playing upon the flames, which
were quickly extinguished.
In the second story Fox had stock of
mattresses and secondhand furniture, and
on the first floor he had his new furniture.
A part OF the stock on the upper floor was
damaged by fire, and the remainder, and
that below, except little which was car
ried out, was damaged by water. Fox said
he valued his stock at 5000 and had 500 in
surance on it. The loss will be about half
the value of the stock. The building was
somewhat scorched, and it will need paint
ing in the room where the fire occurred, but
the damage otherwise was slighl Mr..
Myers stock of tobacco was slightly dam
aged by smoke, but his loss will not be-
great, and it is covered by insurance.
The roof of small one-story house on
Taylor street, one door east of West Broad
street, caught fire between and o'clock
yesterday morning, and the fire department
was called out, and the fire was extinguished
before it gained much Roadway. One hun
dred dollars will cover the damage to the
property. The house was used as head
quarters for the Union Cornet Band.

Savannah theatre-goeIS will have an op-
portunitv tonight to renew their acquaint-
anca with "Muldoon' and "Mulcahey,"
which Hugh Barry and Billy Fay have made
theatrically famous in Irish Aristocracy.n
Barry and Fay are considered among the
leading opponents of Irish comedy. Their
"Irisb Aristocracyn has been one of the
leading successes of the day. Their new
play "Mulcaheys Big Party" which they
will present tonight, is said to be its equal.
The two characters, "Muldoonn and "Mul-
cahey,n are retained. They are simon-pure
Irishmen who have made money. Muldoon
plays the ariStocrat and Mulcahey is always
Mulcahey Mrs. MudoOa and her daugh-
ter affect the airs of the We're de Nercs, and,
as a result, all the situations are either
absurdities or incongIIlitieS. TO add
to the complications Muldoon and Null
cahey are very philosophical, very
good natured and very drunk.
The theatrical public is familiar with Irish
AristocrAcy,n and it viii hardly fail TO APP
preciaue "Mulcahey's Big Party" The
Ne,rS and Courier says of Tuesday nights
performance in Charleston: Apart from
The broad humor OF the Irish Aristocracy'
there is a vein of keen satire running
through the new play, which invests it with
a double interest. Mr.. Hugh Fay as
Michael Muldoou' and Mr.. William Barry
are well-nigh inimitable artists in their
special linen
